1-star Google reviewKatelyn E.4 years ago
Movers did not show up, they were supposed to be at my property between 8-8:30 and at 8:45 I started calling to check their status. I finally got a hold of someone at 9:00 and I was told they were in Indiana and their truck was broken down and at the latest they would be to my property by 1:00pm. In the meantime, they were going to try to find someone in my area. I told them I wanted an hourly updates, an hour had past and I heard nothing so I called yet again and had to leave a voicemail.

1-star Google reviewKristin H.Edited 10 years ago
So, I was manipulated into leaving a 5 star review in order to receive a partial refund for services terribly rendered. The small commercial job I hired A1 for turned out to be a terrible headache for the following reasons: -The two guys bothered me early in the morning to try to move my appointment up calling repeatedly. - When we began, one (Bobby) complained about his job and boss very unprofessionally. - They had no tools, had to ask my building neighbors and also ruined a hammer of mine.

They are nothing but trouble...why take the risk when there are reputable companies! We contracted with A1 Movers in June of '18 for them to pick up our belongings, store them at their facility for two weeks and deliver them to our new home. In addition to the cost of the move, we paid an additional $75 for $5,000 of insurance to cover any damage that may result at the hands of A1 Movers.

Had A1 move me from house to a storage unit as I could not move in to apartment for a month. Everything seem great. When moving the items from the storage unit to the apartment, did not use A1 for the second move There few a few item missing. The missing items included glass shelves and a sound bar. I called A1 and he blew me off. When I post a 1 star review he called me and kept insisting his employees were not thieves. I had not thought that as these items were not worth much.

1-star Google reviewCody5 years ago
STAY FAR FAR AWAY!!! I used them for my move 4/1/21 after being quoted half the price of 2 men and a truck I have used twice previously. We originally agreed on 2 guys and 1 moving truck for my move at $145 per hour, when they showed up for my move it was 3 guys and 1 truck for an additional $72 an hour. I immediately expressed my concern about the jump in price but the owner assured me the move would go quicker with 3 guys and I would end up paying less at the end.

The most disgusting movers there is..They said 3 times all our items would fit in their trailer for sure and then half way through loading they told us we had to rent a U Haul which was addittional $631.00 besides the $2,700 they charged. Cost us over $3,31.00 to move about 150 miles. Many items were broken..they threw a lot of out yard items off truck in a pile...found bins that I clearly marked "FOOD..KITCHEN" buried in garage. Very disrespectful and took advantsge of senior citizens.

I had an appointment with then on August 2nd 2021 to move stuff from my storage to my new condo at 9am. We waited for 1.5 hours and never showed up. We tried calling but no answer and no one called us to say they were running late. Call around to see if we could get a different company out there to move my stuff but everywhere was booked. Luckily Badger Brothers said they could do it in a few weeks and about $900 cheaper. Never asking A-1 again..

House was damaged in 4 or 5 spots. Was told they could move a massage chair but showed up with zero tools and had to use mine. Just to leave the massage chair not put together. Then proceeded to charge us 600$ to move 2 couches took the long way to the destination so they could bill us more. Wouldn't recommend use someone else.

Jason, Skyler, and Shawn busted their butts up and down a flight of stairs at both ends of my move!! Very reasonable pricing, VERY efficient, and everything made it safely. All three were also friendly and communicative, and we felt safe with all of them.

They did a great job with my move. They were on time and took great care with protecting everything. The move was done in a reasonable amount of time, even with an additional stop downtown. The price was fair and I'm happy with how things went.

5-star Google reviewAutumn F.8 months ago
Outstanding service - highly recommend!! Badgerland Movers, especially Jason and his crew, were absolutely phenomenal. They arrived right on time and immediately created a clear game plan that made the whole move feel smooth and organized. They handled all of my belongings with genuine care, and it was obvious how well they work together as a team. What impressed me most is that they moved me during a snowstorm—and still kept a positive attitude, stayed efficient, and made sure everything was done safely.

Badgerland Movers were professional, on-time, clear in their recommendations, accurate in budgeting and very positive & polite. Other movers wanted us to wait up to 3 weeks for delivery or share a truck with another family - not Badgerland - we had our own truck and the team that loaded was the team that delivered. Jason, Madden, and Allen we very thoughtful and professional. They moved very quickly. All of our fragile items were handled with care.
